Dear family, if you are also looking for care with a heart, you are spot on with me. I am 40 years old, a non-smoker, nature and animal lover and as an au pair I have already had positive experiences in childcare. Today I have the best practice field with my two children, several years of professional experience as childminder for day families in Basel-Stadt and training as a play group leader at the IG Spielgruppe. Treat yourself to the luxury of a childless break, while I lovingly take care of your sprout.

Dear family, I have been a nanny for over 9 years. I have a wide range of experience with children from 0 to 12 years old, including babies, twins and triplets. Since I am not yet busy with my workload, I am looking for an additional family for children and / or household care for various hours. All documents such as my training certificates (play group leader and nursing assistant) as well as the infant first aid course and several other references are stored. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you a pleasant time until then.

Dear parents, I am an experienced mother of three large children, happy, very reliable and loving - and I have a lot of craft and game ideas. I love children and feel privileged to rediscover the world with them. Free play, singing, laughing, but also looking at books and telling are important, as are trips to the forest, to the farm or to the playground. I did an internship in a kindergarten, was an accompanying person in a forest play group and had experience as a nanny. I am looking forward to your contact request.

Being a parent myself, I have done the "SWOT analysis" of parent ship numerous times. It is not only to keep an eye on the children, it is getting to know their world perfectly, to treat them with love and compassion, to nurture them. I am aware how tough it is to juggle personal and career duties at once. I also know how difficult it is to trust somebody else. That is why I have embraced the challenge to give support to parents in need. For me being a nanny is a benchmark for responsibility.

Dear parents, I am a trained nanny with around 30 years of experience with babies, toddlers and children up to 12 years. With my cheerful, creative, patient and empathetic manner I manage to quickly win the trust of the children. Thanks to the good observation skills at the kinder-helfer course, I can also look after sick children. It is very important to me to look after children individually and to offer them a good time. I would very much like to give you a few carefree hours.
Your Babsy Experience
“
— Marco F. from Basel – Working, father of 2 children
Our babysitter arrived on time and the care with our son worked well. She told us that it was fun and that he had behaved very well. When we got back, even my daughter, who was traveling with us, wanted to play with the babysitter.
Although my wife and I were a bit skeptical at first, it was a good experience and everything worked out well!

— Sandra S. from Allschwil – Part-time worker, mother of 2 children
I am 30 years old and a working mother. Balancing job and family is one of my daily challenges. Organizing unplanned events is extremely stressful for me and often overturns all of my planning. I hardly have time for myself, even if it’s just an appointment with the hairdresser.
The problem is that the existing range of childcare options is not tailored to my needs. With Babsy this is now possible and that’s why I think it’s a great thing.

— Lea S. from Basel – Working, mother of 2 children
On Saturday, on the way home from the ski vacation, I received a text message from my nanny at 11:00 a.m. that she would be out for a week (really poor, it caught her full, so no resentment or something, but still a screaming spasm on my part).
- At 12.57 p.m. I wrote to Babsy.
- 14.46 clock we had Jovana “under one roof”.
I had met her at the “Meet & Greet the Babsys” event before and that was great! If I hadn’t known her a little, it would have been a bit strange for me. So I think it’s great that there was a kind of speed dating with the babysitters.
